Milwaukee, Ireland – May 21, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Twenty years ago, if a person wanted a business telephone system the choices were limited:

If a person was a small, single-location business, one could purchase a mechanical ‘key and lamp’ system from a phone company. Based on 1940s technology, it offered little or no features.

On the other hand, larger, multi-location business, could acquire a ‘PBX’ (private branch exchange) from a company like Ericsson or ITT. It offered features like call transfer, but it was a huge investment.

And in either case calls had to be made through a monopoly phone carrier. Calls were expensive. And if one wanted new extensions or locations, one had to get specialist engineers to make changes to the system.

In short, one was completely at the mercy of phone carriers, exchange manufacturers and onsite engineers. Worse, one was chained to the past by a network that was already over a century old.

… but now VoIP links anyone to the future.

Voice over IP (VoIP) was developed in order to provide access to voice communication in any place around the world. In most places, voice communication is quite costly. Consider making a phone call to a person living in a country half the globe away. The first thing you think of in this case is your phone bill! VoIP solves this problem and many others.

There are of course a few drawbacks attached to the use of VoIP, as is the case with any new technology, but the advantages largely outbalance these. Let’s explore the benefits of VoIP and see how it can improve your home or business voice communication.

Save a Lot of Money

If you don’t use VoIP for voice communication, then you are most certainly using the good old phone line (PSTN – Packet-Switched Telephone Network). On a PSTN line, time really is money. You actually pay for each minute you spend communicating on the phone. International calls are much more expensive. Since VoIP uses the Internet as a backbone, the only cost you have when using it is the monthly Internet bill to your ISP. Of course, you need broadband Internet access, like ADSL, with a decent speed. In fact, unlimited 24/7 ADSL Internet service is what most people use today, and this causes your monthly cost to be a fixed amount. You can speak as much as you wish on VoIP and the connection cost will still be the same.

Studies have shown that, compared to using a PSTN line, using VoIP can potentially make you save up to 40 % on local calls, and up to 90 % on international calls.

More Than Two Persons

On the phone line, only two persons can speak at a time. With VoIP, you can set up a conference with a whole team communicating in real time. VoIP compresses data packets during transmission, and this causes more data to be handled by the carrier. As a result, more calls can be handled on one access line.

Cheap User Hardware and Software

If you are an Internet user wishing to use VoIP for voice communication, the only additional hardware you require besides your computer and Internet connection are a sound card, speakers, and a microphone. These are quite cheap. There exist several software packages downloadable from the Internet, which you can install and use for the purpose. Examples of such applications are the well-known Skype and Net2Phone. You do not actually need a telephone set, which can be quite expensive, along with the underlying equipment, especially when you have a phone network.

Abundant, Interesting and Useful Features

Using VoIP also means benefitting from its abundant features which can make your VoIP experience very rich and sophisticated, both personally and for your business. You are thus better equipped for call management. You can, for example, make calls anywhere in the world to any destination in the world with your VoIP account. Features also include Caller ID, Contact Lists, Voicemail, extra-virtual numbers etc. Read more on VoIP Features here.

More than Voice

VoIP is based on the Internet Protocol(IP), which is in fact, along with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), the basic underlying protocol for the Internet. By virtue of this, VoIP also handles media types other than voice: you can transfer images, video, and text along with the voice. For instance, you can speak to someone while sending her files or even showing yourself using a webcam.

More Efficient Use of Bandwidth

It is known that about 50 % of a voice conversation is silence. VoIP fills the ‘empty’ silence spaces with data so that bandwidth in data communication channels is not wasted. In other words, a user is not given bandwidth when he is not talking, and this bandwidth is used efficiently for other bandwidth consumers. Moreover, compression and the ability to remove redundancy in some speech patterns add up to the efficiency.

Flexible Network Layout

The underlying network for VoIP does not need to be of a particular layout or topology. This makes it possible for an organization to make use of the power of proven technologies like ATM, SONET, Ethernet etc. VoIP can also be used over wireless networks like Wi-Fi.

When using VoIP, the network complexity inherent in PSTN connections is eliminated, yielding an integrated and flexible infrastructure which can actually support many types of communication. The system being more standardized, it requires less equipment management and is, therefore, more fault tolerant.
